Adjustable ski poles

I'm in the market for a new pair of poles and looking to go for an adjustable pair. Anyone know some good adjustable poles for skiing park?

Line paintbrush or the Atomic Benchetler poles. They are the only adjustable poles I know of that have a park-style grip.

Go to a used sports goods store and search through their poles bins

I found a pair of Komperdell Running Back (now the Komperdell Smash) back in the summer of 2016 on Mt. Hood. They're adjustable poles, but for kids, so they're pretty short... But if your adjustable poles go past your hips, you're doing it wrong (should be mid thigh IMO)
10/10 grips with great customer service, I forgot to load my poles 2 years ago and I ran 'em over, they sent me a new pair with no questions asked despite being outside their 3 year warranty, no receipt, and a previous model.
Give 'em a try!

Don't get adjustable poles they'll just slip/break, if you really want different lengths for park vs all mtn just buy 2 pairs of poles at a thrift store, last 2 sets of poles I got were $10 and $5

Whatever you do don’t get black diamond adjustable poles. The baskets won’t stay on and 2 of the clips broke within like half a season

I did this for most of this season and it’s a great way to try out different lengths but I’m just looking for a nicer pole than the rentals at my mountain now.

I snap poles like 5 times a season and I use poles maybe 10 times a season. Rentals are the wave
